HT, India 1-1 Great Britain: India lucky to be level in this match. Great Britain played with good intensity in attack while also keeping the Indian attack at bay. It was a GB error that gave India the PC that Harmanpreet Singh converted. Fulton’s men ended the half strongly and one hopes that they carry that momentum into the second half.

Vinayakk Mohanarangan: Once again, India have started by sitting deep and holding their defensive structure but that has meant wave-after-wave of GB attack and the pressure pays. Now India have to react.

Q1, India 0-1 Great Britain: Tim Nurse scores! This goal was coming given how well GB started. Nurse gets the ball on the left, gets past Lalit and Mandeep Mor.
